Eric Fisher to start at right tackle for Chiefs on Monday vs. Packers

Eric Fisher will return to the starting lineup Monday night at Green Bay, Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced Saturday.

Fisher, 24, has missed the Chiefs’ last five games as he recovers from a high ankle sprain. He will start at right tackle for Jah Reid, who has started the Chiefs’ first two regular-season games.

Fisher was expected to be ready to start at right tackle in the Chiefs’ season opener, but sources told The Star he opted out of the lineup because of concern over his high ankle sprain. Chiefs coach Andy Reid, however, maintained afterward he made the decision to sit Fisher because of the ankle injury.

Despite the injury, Fisher has logged three offensive snaps as a reserve at left tackle and 10 special-teams snaps as a blocker on the field-goal unit in the Chiefs’ first two games.

He has not played right tackle since his rookie year in 2013, but Reid said Fisher has “done well” in practice this week.

“I mean, he had played over there for the year, his first year,” Reid said. “He’s a pretty good athlete. Easy adjustment.”

Fisher is listed as probable on the injury report, along with fellow offensive lineman Jeff Allen, who has also missed the Chiefs’ last five games, including preseason, because of a MCL sprain in his knee.

“He had a better week this week, so he’s pretty close to 100 percent,” Reid said of Allen.

Allen, a full-time starter at left guard in 2013 who missed almost all of 2014 because of injury, opened training camp as the starter at right guard but was inserted as the starting right tackle in the Chiefs’ preseason opener against Arizona, where he injured his knee.

Below is why PFF is a rag and why Fisher receiving a slightly positive grade is total BS.

"On the surface, Rodgers’ raw statistics paint the picture of one of the best games of the season. 333 passing yards, five touchdown passes, no interceptions, a 138.5 passer rating. Yet, Aaron Rodgers ended last night’s game with a -0.8 grade overall. "

I got a kick out of listening to Gruden talk about how bad this O-line was. It was nice to hear the guys blowing plays be held accountable.

Maybe we can get a return on Fisher by switching him to parking lot duty?

He was spot on about Fisher, "Having to do much better" and that he really has been a "disappointment" since being drafted # 1 overall by KC and ,"That's just not gonna get it done."

yep and his comments for the Chiefs, Ace players in the secondary were spot on as well.

Yeah, earth-shattering. What's next? Water is wet?

These clowns didn't even know until later in the game that Sean Smith was part of the team.

Yep. Then didn't Torico call him Scott Smith at first? Or was it Gruden who called him that?

You know it is really bad when Gruden is saying something negative. Grubbs spent more time on his back last night than a cheap Vegas hooker.

Don't expect any of the idiots around here to acknowledge that though ... full pitchfork and mob mentality going on right now.

Seems like Morse was actually our 2nd best, Grubb had a rough time

Eh, he may possibly be a nice addition for the next and proper QB. We'll see.

At least this is somewhat of a silver lining.

I thought he played well yesterday

suzzer99 · 10-05-2015, 03:52 PM

What's his PFF grade for the year?

**Iowanian** · 10-05-2015, 04:07 PM

Fisher has been the only Chiefs Olineman that hasn't had his ass kicked the past 2 weeks.

Morse is getting turned in circles with stunts and thrown off the ball by bull rushes, Larry the French sucks as bad as I thought he did in preseason, Grubbs has been baffling...maybe it's being between a center that doesn't know what he's doing and a left tackle who smiles and laughs when he gives up sacks.

False - watch the play @ 1:20

He posted a PFF "statistic".

They arbitrarily assign blame for sacks. It's likely that they faulted Alex Smith.

It's coming off a stunt. The way that should have gone was, had Fulton not got beat like a drum, RG slides off and passes to Fish, while RG picks up the end.

Fish was trying to make the best of a bad situation.

suzzer99 · 10-05-2015, 04:24 PM

I bet they put that on Fulton for allowing the initial pressure that forced Smith up into Fisher's guy.
